Dear Open Library Patrons,
We need your help to make sure the Internet Archive—the non-profit that runs Open Library—lasts forever. On November 9, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change. This is a firm reminder that we must also design for change. So we set a new goal: to create a copy of our collections in the Internet Archive of Canada. This will cost millions. For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions. It means serving patrons when government surveillance may be on the rise. This is a non-profit library built on trust. Reader privacy is very important to us, so we don’t accept ads. We don’t collect your personal information. But we still need to pay for servers, staff and rent. If everyone reading this gave $50, we could end our fundraiser right now. If you use Open Library, please give what you can today. Thank you.

Lynn Granville

Linda Sole was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, England, UK, the daughter of a schoolteacher and a ladies hairdresser who, after leaving high school at 15, worked in her father’s shop until she married. She ran her own hairdressing salon for a while, then gave it up to write and help her husband run his antique business.

Her first success came in 1979 when, writing as Lynn Granville, she was accepted by Robert Hale. Success with Mills & Boon came soon after and Devil's Kin was published in 1981 as Anne Herries. She wrote 12 books for Mills & Boon before trying her hand at mainstream fiction. She has now written several books under her own name of Linda Sole and other pseudonyms. However, Mills & Boon remains one of her favorite publishers because of the friendly family atmosphere. She decided to write for them again while continuing her other work — it's a busy life, but fulfilling! Writing has always been a pleasure and is a dream come true for her.

Living in Cambridgeshire, she is happily married and enjoys many other things in the company of her husband. Her main interests apart from writing are watching good films and reading other authors; also walking in the sun and swimming — mostly in Spain because it's warmer. Her main love, apart from her husband and writing, is for animals and birds. She loves feeding the squirrels that come regularly to her garden, as well as many varieties of birds — and even foxes during the recent bad weather. She says happiness comes from enjoying the good things around us.
